Entering Data in the Spreadsheet for the Front End Switches

In the front end of the application, there are some switches that allow authorized users to show or hide certain types of positions, such as assistants or consultants, from the org chart. Turning these switches on or off makes the nodes visible or invisible on the org chart (though it does not impact the headcount values).

When you extract data from an ERP, there are usually elements in the data that trigger whether a record qualifies as an "assistant" or a "non-manager vacant position" for example, so when the user turns these switches on or off, the nodes just automatically show or hide. But when you upload your data into Nakisa HR Suite through a spreadsheet, you have to place certain data in the spreadsheet to make the records correspond to the requirements for the switches. As well, some of the switches are not accessible at all if you use a spreadsheet method of data entry. The following table explains what data needs to be in which columns for the records to qualify for the show/hide functionality on the front end.
